Lillian Kinard Grubbs

Lillian Kinard Grubbs left this world on June 1, 2019 for her heavenly, eternal home. She was a Godly woman with great compassion for others, especially children.  She served in many roles but the one that she relished the most was that of Mother.  She leaves 8 children to cherish her memories: Adrian Grubbs and wife, Jo Ann; Harry Grubbs and wife, Doris; Leon Grubbs and wife, Audrey Ann; Darrell Grubbs and wife, Donna; Frank Grubbs and wife, Karen; Muriel Overman and husband, Steve; Paul Grubbs and wife, Teresa; and Sandy Sasser and husband, Tony.  In addition, 20 grandchildren, 34 great- grandchildren, and 4 great-great grandchildren are a part of her legacy.  Mrs. Grubbs had a great love for her only surviving sibling, Claude Kinard. Also surviving are two brothers-in-law, Robert and Rupert Grubbs.  She was preceded in death by her husband, Herman A. Grubbs, Sr., one grandchild, Patrick Grubbs, her parents:  Charlie and  Callie Kinard and her siblings:  Charles, J.D., Estelle, Jessie Lee and Juanita.
